This module alters the Basic Auth service so it can be used globally for routes that do not specify an authentication method. It can be useful on sites that use the Basic Auth module on a site where the web server also implements basic authentication (typically a development environment).

This module came up as a potential solution for unexpected session issues caused on sites where both Basic Auth module and web server's basic authentication are cofigured. See #2842858: Basic Auth module conflicts with server-level "Site Lock" implementations for further details.
